C • .04. 4 44 Eke Wicitto Wiouttr. By ROBERT C. BAILEY. WICKES, - MONTANA. There are 109 women in the world to every 100 mem Anglordania is not sio popular a mal- ady as it was two months 'ago. Grabowski is the name of Russia's most successful turfman. He made $60,- 000 this sear. Leadville, Col., is building an ice pal- ace whose walls will require 15,000,000 pounds of ice. It costs New Yorkers $2 a head to . hear Yvette Gailbert, and they appear perfectly satisfied. An English librarian recently died of tuberculosis, contracted from books .• read by consumptive patients. Fitzsimmons and Julian have decid- ed to call it a draw and quit. This will mem a great saving of printer's ink. Mr. Julian speaks of Mr. Fitzsim- mons as an \ungrateful bum.\ Thus the pugilistic melee goes merrily on., - An alliance between the American eagle and the Russian bear would be sure to put the growl on the British lion. With the removal of John L. Sullivan to. Chicagci will vanish Boston's last claim to be considered culture's head- quarters. Another advertisement for Col. Inger- soll: The law class of the Missouri uni- versity has decided not to invite him to lecture. McDonald County. Mo., has an orch- ard of 6.000 acres, the largest in the United States, and perhaps the largest in the world. Chicago is to have a bicycle police squad, and there is likely to be a re- duclion in the avoirdupois of some of the members of the force. The announcement that the New Toth Gran!' monument will not be com- pleted next April appears to bring out nc expressions of surprise. The women who have been cbjecting lae(ause. they .were excluded from the Chieago Open Board of Trade don't ;teas when they are in luck. No one will object to Col. Harvey's efforts to eliminate selfishness from politics if there is occasion for going into secret session to do the work. it seems likely now that, after all the Armenians have been killed, the pow- ers will see to it -that there is an ami- eabie adjustment of the little misun- derstanding. One of the first results of war talk is to develop the sensitiveness of capi- tal. It. will scurry to cover if any one happens to mention that Mars is liable to be in the ascendant.. it is not difficult to count the men who are really candidates, but when It comes to trying to count those who think they are candidates the task assumes serious proportions. '!ere Is a man with a. conscienee, and no mistake. Mr. G. Green, of McClure, Kan., while intoxicated, swore out a warrant against himself, was ar- raigned. pleaded guilty, paid his fine, and went home very happy. England is.ehowing a dispositionito use her power and embarrass this coun- try financially. She has that privilege. but our people (ati manage to serape _along with thin pocketbooks if hers can tontrive in some way to live with. rut anything special to eat. That is a singular telegram which a college football player makes public showing that not only the students but the faculty of a state university in the northwest joined In offering a good and valuable consideration to him if he would pretend to be a student In the college and play on the team. Can it really be true that reform of the foot- ball mania in colleges must begin with reform of the faculties? Many people are kept guessing what the next fool thing done by society folk with apparent intellect will be. 13anket Higgintion's wife in Boston eloped with a men twenty years younger than herself, leaving four chil- dren and itituirieus millions. Then Charles W. Deering, grandson of the man who malice the Deering self -binder and other instruments, abandoned a home of wealth and culture and ease to enter the regidar army and curry horses atyort Riley. By what procees of reasoning either of these persons could have persuaded themselves to do such inexcusable and irretrievably idi- otic things no human Intelligence can ascertain. THE DEVIL'S CURRENT. A STORY ROMANTIC AND PRote- ABLY TRUE. Where the sultan Drowns Min Victims In the Dark Haters of the Bosphorus -- Horrible Night Itlieiders of Meo and W014,11. ',ONG EUROPE'S most terrible stream, the Bos- phorus, flow ing (lark, deep and swift from the Black sea past the gilded minarets of C on St an tinople, there is one dread ribbon through its entire length known as the \Devil's Current,\ says the World. With inconceivable rapidi- ty the water rushes madly down to the Mediterranean, leaving far behind, as a king of racers distances his fleetest runners, the flying currents on either side. Reddened with tragedy, this rib- bon of water has long been the scene of the most dastardly, cowardly and al- ways silent crimes of the world.' It has been the pet of etitceesive sultans, the shifty stage of Turkey's bloodiest ..drarhas. The Golden Horn, that famous, broad - bosomed harbor of the nearby Orient, divides Constantinople., or Istamboul, as the Greek church called the historic metropolis, into two sections. Two bridges of iron bind together the two shelves of the sultan's town. To the northeast is Pere, the foreign quarter, the city, as good Mussultnans term it, of the Franks. Across the Horn is Moslem- dum, properly Stamboul, god on the great rounded point where Horn and Bosphorus meet are the many palaces of his majesly, the Padishah Abdul Hamid, siagn, among them his sera- glio of white and gold, that vast harem at which the entire civilized world looks askance. Most prominent of all, survival of the old Church of Byzan- tium, though now Mahomet's temple, the golden minarets of the Mosque of St. Sophia, visible far away on the Bos- phoeus, glitter at eventide from the rays of the setting sun. Seraglio Point, on whose shores Horn and Bosphorus mingle their waters, is but a few rods distant from the \Devil's Current,\ which at this point nears the land, as if by some dread design. In the dead of night, its waters lit only by the pale stars, time and again swift, long black caiques have glided ,put with muffled oars pulled by black -garbed servants bent on their master's cruel bidding. Here crimes of a horror that it is hard to picture have been perpe- trated unwitnessed. Plash, down in the' deep, (lark waters, struggling, but voiceless, unwept, uncoffined and un- sung, form after form has gone to death because of the caprice or hatred of the fretful dark -eyed man in the palace on the height. More corpses of men and women this grim current has borne upon its breast than any other stream in all the regions of the globe. As it watery cemetery of slaughtered innocence has been its his- tory. All who have sunk into its tide of death will never be known, -but the ghastly whimes of the commander of the faithful have thrown to it dainty women, valiant soldiers, ardent states- men and youths whose only fault was that they loved their country too well. In the embrace of this cold current has been stifled forever a large share of Turkey's patriotism, ability and wom- anly loveliness. 'Abdul Harald, though 'he seems from his presence to be the most relentless of all the sultans, is but following in the footsteps of the padishaha that have gone before him. These crimes have lieen going.on silently, stealthily, fiend- ishly for centuries. But Abdul Hamid. his hands already stained with the blood of Armenians and other lawless acts committed in his domain, put the final touch, which has aroused the whole civilized world, when by his ex- press orders within the past month he deliberately drowned like dogs a score of brilliant and patriotic youths whose one aim was the betterment of their country, and who belonged to that fear- less. thoughtful. earnest band, the young Turkish party. One of the most cempetent historical critics in the United States describes Von Hoist's \Constitutional History\ as chiefly useful to counteract extrava- gant and unreasoning patriotism. Per- ham it is for this the (Weer:shy of Chicago keeps him. The president should be careful bow he restricts (len. Miles from talking about our coast defenses lest that gen- tleman, through sheer paucity of sub- ject matter, be driven to lengthy de- nials that he is a candidate for presi- dent A Historic Barber Shop. Clamorgan's barber shop in St. Louis, which is soon to be dismantled, has lang been ,famous in the West. Its original preprietors, who were octo- !Tone, established it in 1852, and fitted It up luxuriously with mahogany chairs, marble tubs imported from Italy and the finest of tonsorial para- phernalia. Dickens was shaved there, and Grant, Gen. l'ope, Benton. Douglas( and other celebrities of the day patro- nized it. Grant indeed is said to have had his hair cut there oftener than any other customer. Perhaps its crowning glory was the patronage of the Prince of 'Wales. who, finding the Planter's house tubs primeval, came to lave in Clamorgatis Italian marble. Etiquette forbade him, however, to occupy no of the barbers: chairi. An 0141 Account Hook. Dr. Thomas Knowlton Marcy of Windsor, Conn., has found an account book which was kept by Colonel Thomas Knowlton, the revolutionary hero whose statue was unveiled last week. It contains the notes of, Colonel Knowlton's command at the battle of hunker 14111 and n list of the killed. Dr. Marcy w * ,11 present the book to the Connecticut Historical society. Tablet to Queen Mary. A memorial, tablet to Mary. Queen of Scots, has just. been placed in Peter- borough, near the spot where she was hurled ekes her execution. It Was eubseribed for by English women bear- ing the name of Mary. IN A SNAKE'S COIL Conflict of a Doctor with an Eleven - Foot Monster. Two medical students, Fred Kerlin and Charles Ellsworth of this city, who spent their vacation in the vicinity of Uniontown, while near the tragic and famous spot, \the White rocks,\ in the Allegheny mountains, about ten miles halm Uniontown, met with an adven ture that almost adds another horror to that place, say s the Pittsburg Dis- patch. Wearied with their wanderings the two paused and Mr. Kiwnti, throw- ing himself upon a mossy rock, was soon fast asleep. Mr. Ellsworth, who sat near by, was in a short time startled by a cry from his companion and on turning around was horrified to see a huge blacksnake rapidly wind- ing itself about the body of Mr. Kerlin. Mr. Kertin, who was now on his knees, staggered to his feet, but the snake had succeeded in coiling itself two or three times around his body, fastening his left arm in a helpless position. Mr. Ells- worth started forward to his assistance of his unfortunate companion but could do nothing. During the terrible en- counter Mr. Kernn never for a moment lost his presence of mind but made re- peated efforts to seize the reptile by the neck, hoping thus to choke it to death. The snake, now tightening its coils every moment and almost crush- ing the life out of the young man, sud- denly stopped, with its hem' in midair and its tongue darting rapidly back- ward and forward and its eyes fixed upon Mr. Ellsworth, gave the nervy young doctor the opportunity he hail hoped for. Kernn now quickly and bold- ly seized the neck of the reptile with his free hand. Ellsworth, seeing that the strength of his coinpanion was rap- idly going, rushed in to his assistance. At this moment Keenn sank exhausted upon the rock, but not before Ellsworth, with jackknife in hand, ha.1 also seized the snake by the neck. Pressing the neck of the monster firmly upon the rock with his left hand he, with his right, quickly severed the head from the body. The coils of the snake slowly loosened from the body of Kernn, who was now unconscious. A little brandy, however, soon revived e him and in an hour he, with the aid of Mr. Ellsworth, was able to make his way to a farm- house at the foot of the mountain. The snake measured 11 feet 5 inches in length and the oldest inhabitants say it is the largest snake even found in the neighborhood within their recollec- tion. REALISM AT THE 'FRISLL• FAIR. A Mining Camp bhows Things Just as hey Were In '49. Moat realistic is the mining camp of '49 lathe midwinter fair of San Fran- cisco. The good and bad features, the flashy and the picturesque, are set forth as they existed in the feverish days of goldseeking. The cabins of Mackay, Perkins and Jones (the two last named now senators of the United States) are reproduced to the life. There is a shanty saloon, with bar-keepers in rough shirts and boot., but they hen temper- ance drinks only. The typical gambling -den is not omitted, nor does the old miner fail to see the frontier postofliee, the tent or the frame hut in which his newspaper was rolled off a hand -press, and the rough , barber shop where he had his hair cut when it grew down into his eyes. At One end of the camp are some Indian tents with real Indians, like those who used to buy firewater of the miners and often exchange shots with them when both were under its in- fluence. At the other end of the camp a theater is shown, with candles for footlights and antiquated proper- ties. Here the variety performances which used to delight the rude gold- diggers are repeated. And finally there is the mining camp graveyard with its scattered headstones. The Irbit Fair. Thelrbit fair, which is held at Irbil - , in the province of Perm, between the 1st of February and the 1st of March, is not on the great trading route be- tween Russia and Siberia, and yet it is at Irbit that Siberia is supplied with manufactured goods for the year and to which Siberia sends a large portion of her furs, skins, fish, honey, wax, hempseed,•linseed and even butte*. Here, too, is a great mareet for Chinese tea and silk and for men \ products of Central Asia. Most ot I he goods left unsold from the Nijni-Novgorod fair are sent on to Irbit and Siberian goods left unsold from the Irbit fair are in turn sent on to Nijni-Novgorod. For Russian goods the traders enjoy some special privileges for carriages from fair to fair. The Irbit fait dates from 1643, but up to the beginning of the present century had not exceeded a turn -over of 2,000,000 rubles per annum.' In 1863, however, it had grown to 50,- 000,000 and in 1387 it reached 57,000,000, ' which was the high-wa,ter mark. By ' 1892 the turn -over had declined to 34,- 000,000 rubles and this fair is expected to suffer a good deal from the Trans- Siberian railway, now in course of con- struction. which will take Siberian grain and furs and other products di- rect to the Russian railway system. Irbit itself is but a small place of 5,000 inhabitants, but during the fair the population rises to 100,000, and many of the houses are open only while the fair lasts. Beer and Crime. Whisky makes men crazy, cider makes men ugly; but beer and tobacco seem to make men stolid alio callous and cold-blooded. The haunts of anar- chists are lager beer saloons, and the leaders in anarchy are beer sellers and beer drinkers. Says the Pacific Medi- cal Journal: A whisky drinker will commit murder only under the threa: . excitement of liquor; a beer drinker is capable of doing it in cold blood. Long observation has assured us that a large proportion of murders, deliber- ately planned and executed without pas- slon or malice, with no other motive than the acquisition of property or money, often of trifling value, are per- petrated by beer drinkers. We believe, further, that the hereditary evils Of beer-drinking exceed those proreing from ardent spirits; first, becau e the habit is constant and without parox- ysmal interruptions, which admit of some recuperation; secondly, because beer -thinking is practiced by both sexes more generally than the spirit -drink- ing; and thirdly, because the animaliz- ing tendency of the habit is more uni- formly developed, thus authorizing the presumption that the vicious results are _more generally transmitted. *Farming In London. Agricultural returns from the county of London have a queer sound. Yot of the 75,442 acres, on which its popu- lation of 4,232,118 lives, no fewee than 14,401 are cultivated, beside!) 207 used for grazing, making nearly one-fifeh of the whole area used for farming pur- poses. Between 1893 and 1895 500 acret were lost to cultivation. A Lotra• Rainnee• The largest sponge ever sent to mar- ket was from the Mediterranean.

The American people live too fast, eat too fast and drink too fast. This l brought upon many of us a train of ili ' erv ia oii s s and stomach disorders that are very diffi- cult to manage.. Investigation and chemical analysis to discover such compounds as will help those suffering front such ills has re- sulted in the discovery of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which has taken very high rank as a specific remedy. H. P. Owens, a traveling man thirty years of age, who is well snown in this community and generally liked because he is a bright, energetic young fellow, resides with his mother at 335 Central Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio, He has been a victim of dyspepsia which took the form of continu- ous constipation, and, strangely • enough, his mother suffered imin the same trouble. Mr. Owens testified to Die merits or Pink Pills in a most entbusiastie way, and said to the Faeinleer reporter: \I am glad to say anything I can for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, oecause they did me great good, and other people ought to know of their virtues as a medicine in stomach troubles. It was some time ago when I felt a heavy feeling in my stomach, and I grew very constipated. I did not consult a doctor, but, having heard of the Pink Pills I bought a box of them. In two or three days the heavy feeling in my stomach dis- appeared and my bowels were regular. I did not have to use more than a box of them before I was well. Since that time I have only occasionally been troubled with constipation, and I never get worried, be- cause I know just what to do. Mother was also troubled with indigestion and the Pink Pills (lid .the same for her they did for me—cured her, didn't they, mother.\ When appealed to Mrs. Owens answered: \That is right. I found it was a great medicise, so easy to take and so quick and lasting in its results.\ Mr. Owens continued: \I believe that these Mils are also good for nervousness. When I had my stomach trouble I was also quite nervous and that disappeared with the dyspepsia. The I 'ink Pills were all that is claimed for ti ii You can make any use of this testjus.i , is I you sect lit.\ H. P. Owens has oci!iional several posi- tions of trust in this city. lie was for u time an employe of the Commercial -Gazette. He will go on the read in a few days for a prominent business house here. Mrs. Owens is quite as enthusiastic as her son about the Pink Pills and her host of lady friends can verify her awed opinion of this wonderful remedy if they feel disposed to do so at any time. Where the testimony is so general and unanimous as to the ex- cellencies of Pink Pills as the Enquirer has found it to be there is certainly good reason to believe all the good things said—about the safe and simple remedy. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and re- store shattered nerves. They may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenec- tady, N. Y., at 50e per box, or six boxes for 12.50. Jed Pron:y Outdone.

St. Louis, Mo., (Special)—Col. Wm. A. Kirchhoff, general western manager of the American Tobacco Co., has startled hie numerous friends by stop- ping the use of tobacco. For years he hail smoked twenty strong cigars daily. and a lees quantity would leave him nervous and Ill. The habit was under- mining his health, and he tried to quit, hilt could not, until he took No-To- Bac. the medical miracle that has cured so many thousands of tobacco -users. Col. Kirchhoff's craving for tobacco has entirely gone, and he feels better than ever before. He is a great No -To -lithe enthusiaet now. Over 300,000 had to- bacco-usere have been cured by No - To -Rae, and the Ides to tobacco mama- facttirers is easily over $1u,000,000 a year. Hot Water In a Deep aline.

Hog Cholera and Its P Don. Newspaper bulletin No. 15, of tie In - diana Experiment station, says: It is difficult to estimate the loss In- diana farmers have sustained from hog cholera and swine plague thia year. In some counties It will reach $25,000 and if the whole state has suffered as much as the northwestern portion, the total will probably exceed $800,000. There are two diseases responsible for these heavy losses, hog cholera and swine plague. As they are much alike in symptoms and occur under similar conditions, they may be treated as :one disease. Both are germ diseases of such fatal character that only a small per vent of the hogs attacked ever recover. Medical treatment is not very effectual. Preventive measures are more success- ful and are the ones to be adopted. These diseases being due to germs, cannot exist without the germs being present. They are taken into the body with the food, water and air. The closer animals come in contact, the greater the possibilities of spreading; hence, healthy and diseased animals should be separated as soon as the disease is recognized. The healthy hogs should he taken from the sick and not the sick from the well, as in the latter case the excrement and secretions containing the contagious principles are left in the pen, on the ground, straw and troughs. During an outbreak, ills better to have the herd divided in bunches of about fifteen in small pastures, rather than 4 large herd in a large field. The hogs should not have access to pond or wallows, as this affords favor- able conditions for the germs. The drinking water should be from deep wells. The food should be clean and often changed. If a hog has been separated from the herd and recovers It should not be returned to the herd for several weeks, as it is capable of giving the disease to others, although it -may appear to be perfectly well. Hogs should not be placed in pens where the disease has been for three months. All dead animals should be burned or buried deeply in places where hogs will not graze for a year. Diseased hogs should not be driven thrcuigh lanes or other public high- ways. The healthy hogs should he cared for first and then the diseased, otherwise disease bearing material may be conveyed to the healthy. Clean the pens, use plenty of air slacked lime on the floors before musing again. The following formula given by the Bureau of Animal Industry is as ef- ficacious as any th ing known as a preventive and remedy. It has given fair results: Wood charcoal, one pound; splphur, one pound; sodium chloride, two pound's; sodium h yposulph lie, two pounds; sodium bicarbonate, two pounds; sodium sulphate, one pound; antimony sulphide, one pound. Give a teaspoonful once a day to a 150 pound hog. Give in sloppy feeds, as bran, middling, crushed oats, etc. It will cost about $1 to have it filled. A. W. Bitting, Veterinarian. First Domestic % orMal. • The sheep was the first animal that was domesticated, says Sheep Breeder. This is not to be doubted, because in the earliest written history of mankind we learn of Man being a keeper of sheep. And those equally expressive proofs, viz , those found in the remains of mankind in his ancient cave dwell- ings, the mounds of refuse of long in- habited villages, and in other connec- tion with human remains, we find the bones of sheep. and doubtless the soft wooly skins were then used for man's clothing. We cannot believe that having been found so valuable, nay indispensa- ble, to mankind, the sheep will ever be dispensed with and discarded as useless; for its flesh and its fleece fill a place in the supply of the necessi- ties of mankind that for want of the gentle animal, loved by the good shep- herd, essentially a domestic companion, and indispensable as a part of the stock of any civilized agriculture, mankind would be at a loss to find any substi tute.—Ex. Flax Straw for Feeding.—At our request Harry Snyder, the Min- nesota station chemist, made an :inaly- sis of flax straw, threshed clean, and re- ports as follows: Flax straw is com- posed of water, 4.86 per rent; ash, 3.10; fat, +9; protein. 4.96; fiher. 61.50: car- bohydrates, 24.61. Flax straw Is richer in protein than wheat, oat or barley straw. It is not as rich in ash as those straws, which is a pint in its favor. The flax straw is also dryer. Although the flax straw hiss a large amount of 11- ber, wheat straw, as well as the straw Of other grains. contains so much silica (sand) as to make up for a large por- tion of this difference in fiber. The flax fiber has the power of absorbing water and increasing in volume nearly three times. Hence in feeding flax straw care should be used so as not to cause abnormal expansion of the digest- ive organs; in other words. do not let flax straw he eaten at will, hut deal out such quantities as experience shows to be safe.—Farne Stock and Home.
